We are marinated in a war zone

In present time we may feel marinated in death as its ubiquitous presence threatens to overwhelm us. It is as if we are being asked to walk through a war zone, witnessing around us the fallen everywhere and not knowing if we ourselves will survive. And we my wonder, why can't we just get to the other side and as Thomas Paine said, "begin the world all over again"? 

Carolyn Baker 

I've been reading Carolyn's daily alerts for some years now and following her move out of civilised life and transition to a kinder gentler path, out in rural Vermont on Turtle Island.

I have bought and skimmed through, but not yet thoroughly read her book
Sacred Demise: Walking the Spiritual Path of Industrial Civilization's Collapse which I nevertheless recommend, for I too am trying to find a true path in life. I also feel desperate for emotional and spiritual tools for preparing for living in a post-industrial world. And i really need to deal with the warzone. All those animals dying in the Gulf of Mexico are crying out for us to stop our madness.

The book is available here.
